This team just so happened to do it with a former graffiti artist, and now the technology is available to the world.

His wiki is also available here. The TED talk is EXTREMELY worth watching.

Perhaps youtube could be the DIY instructions site with the most freedom and user-generated content. This could be a great first source for many aspiring DIY-ers to explore for inspiration and to see what others have done before you.

And for those who are curious, Tekla Labs has contacted the maker of this video, and a tutorial is in progress. Maybe we’ll have our first 3rd-party set of instructions sooner than we think!
